Launch of Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s policy brief on Design it right: Make circular systems the norm

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is organising a webinar to launch their latest policy brief: Design it right: Make circular systems the norm.

The brief explores policies which aim to make circular systems the norm via design, focusing on three key systems: product, agriculture and urban planning. It features six case studies from G20 countries and provides practical recommendations to help policymakers design and implement effective circular economy policies.

Join them to hear from the authors, policymakers and experts involved in implementing these instruments, and discuss the biggest opportunities and challenges. 

This session will explore key policy instruments, including product, agricultural and urban planning policies, and look at what it takes to make upstream design-led policy work in practice through three interconnected threads: capacity building, the role of data and the symbiotic relationship between stimulating design and keeping products and materials in use.

Speakers include: 

  • Kristin Strandberg, Circle Economy Foundation
  • Lars Fogh Mortensen, European Environment Agency 
  • Marianne Kettunen, Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Bring your questions for an interactive Q&A, meet the team, and learn how these policies can help to accelerate the transition to a resilient and competitive circular economy.

To accommodate different time zones, the organiser will host two live webinars. They will be conducted in English with live closed captions available in multiple languages, allowing participants to follow the discussion in their preferred language.

This webinar will take place on 7 July at 08:30-10:00 GMT+1
(Brussels 09:30 | Beijing 15:30 | Tokyo 16:30 | New Delhi 13:00).
